Recipe: Microwave Chicken & Dumplings

Recipes using McCormick Gourmet Parsley Flakes

• 6 chicken breasts
• 1 onion, cut into quarters
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup white wine
• 1/2 tsp tarragon
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tbsp parsley flakes
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3 tbsp shortening
• 3/4 cup milk

1. In an 8-cup bowl cover the chicken breasts, salt and onion.
2. Cover lightly with wax paper and cook on high for 10 minutes, then on medium for 20 minutes or until tender.
3. Reserve stock. Remove bones and cut up chicken.
4. On top of stove in a large pot combine stock, wine, tarragon and chicken.
5. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. While the pot is simmering, cut shortening into flour to make a meal like mixture.
